I scheduled an appointment for Kalakoa painting to give me an estimate for painting the exterior of my house last week Friday. They never showed up. I called back to see what happened. No call back no nothing. Don't waste your time! read more

Mahalo to Kamaka (owner) of Kalakoa Painting. Price was reasonable and work performed on time. Excellent workmanship and attention to detail by Todd (painter). It was a pleasure dealing with him. He went above and beyond my expectations, restoring my 75 year old house to its original glory. I would highly recommend using Kalakoa Painting. read more

Kalakoa Painting did a fantastic job. They came in and got the job done quickly and best of all it looks great! Couldn't be happier. They were courteous, punctual and on budget. I would highly recommend Kalakoa Painting! read more

The folks at Kalakoa Painting are amazing! I have been doing a LOT of renovation over a 3 year period, and had previously used a different company who charged a ridiculous amount, spent very little time on prepping, with barely any sanding. After seeing the amazing work Kalakoa did for my neighbor's home, and witnessing how thoroughly they prepped, it was a no brainer to hire them. For me, they painted the inside of a 2 bedroom, 2 bath, architecturally intricate home with vaulted ceilings, and I was SO IMPRESSED!!! There was lots of drywall repair and termite damage that needed TLC, and all the fixes just look incredible now. Can't even tell there were huge dings. From the scheduling to the payment, all was great. Todd who did the work was especially efficient, reliable, thoughtful, and very positive about the work he did. It was a pleasure to see him every day. I would HIGHLY recommend this company... and I speak from experience, as I have worked with two other reputable Oahu companies before this one.

The painters and management at Kalakoa painting delivered the best service we have had with a painting contractor to date. Our painters did an excellent job and kept us informed during the entire process. Upon completion the made sure the the property was left clean. The price was very reasonable and I can't recommend them enough. read more

Deeply disappointed with this company. Good price, but not worth it. Problems with reliability, following through with commitments, very poor communication and rude behavior. They don't come when they say they will. Told me my small job would take 5 days. It took total 13! When I was left waiting all day --the owner got defensive and told me he was doing me a favor. The painter ignored my specific instructions to use eggshell finish in one room and used semi gloss on the walls. I will have to pay someone else to fix this job. Would never use this company again especially for interior painting. read more

Holaniku Hale is an apartment owners association located in Milinani. After reviewing 6 bids for painting 64 apartments, Kalakoa Painting's bid was approved. From the beginning of this project we found Kalakoa to be thorough, extremely accommodating the owners and going beyond the scope of the project to make sure our property looks great. Kalakoa's Management, supervisory staff and workers were extremely accommodating and willing to redo the job if needed. There were no questions asked. To Kalakoa's staff and management, we at Holaniku Hale thank you for a job well done. I will recommend Kalakoa for any painting job small or large. You will never be disappointed. read more

Needing my house painted, I got a few estimates. Attitude, thoughtfulness and thoroughness were additional considerations in choosing this contractor. An A+ rating and no complaints with the BBB were some things I looked at too. I was not disappointed. The painting crew went above and beyond in making sure that everything was done correctly and on time. They made changes on the fly and did everything necessary to make sure that the job was complete and done right. In the end, I couldn't find anything else to want or ask for. Great people to work with, they did a wonderful job and I will ask them again when it comes time to repaint. I would recommend Kalakoa Painting. read more

I have always painted my own home, however I contracted Kalakoa Painting to do it for me. I was very impressed with Kalama Jervis when he came out to give me a quote. He was very thorough and on top of his game. The company was very flexible in working out a schedule and start time. Their crew was professional and were a great assistance in completing a great job on time and with attention to detail. I have no problem recommending them to anyone. Skip Kilburn read more

Kalakoa Painting LLC, did an amazing job on our apartment complex. Just wanted to give a shout out to Daniel, Jenkins and Ricky for doing an outstanding job. They were all friendly, professional, and succeeded in producing "QUALITY" work. I am definitely going to recommend them to my family, friends and co workers. Keep up the MARVELOUS work and the men need a raise, well deserved! Thank you!!! read more

The last time I had our house painted was way back in 2001 - so it was time to protect our home (and our investment!). I took my time to pick and choose a contractor (I am a notorious shopper!), so I turned to YELP for recommendations. I read the reviews on Yelp and saw that Kalakoa Painting garnered satisfaction and praise from those who turned to the company for painting work. I took a chance on them as well. The crew showed up on time and was courteous - but the real proof of their capabilities was when they took on the actual job of renovating the house. Yes - it also included carpentry work on my wooden picket fence, which also needed a new coat of paint. In the end - these guys did an incredible job! The house looks brand new (as well as the fence!). I was most impressed with their attention to detail (the last man on the job made sure the touch-ups were complete!). I highly recommend Kalakoa Painting LLC. Kamaka and his crew are people you can depend on to do the job for you! read more

We are happily returning customers, we had our home painted in the past and Kalakoa was the only company we considered for this new project to prep, stain and clear coat some weathered hardwood eaves in addition to some roof cleaning of our silicon coated roof. Kamaka, the owner, was very responsive and a pleasure to work with in scheduling and adjusting the scope to our needs. Some technical hurdles prolonged the job slightly but we were included in the discussion on how to solve these and the job never waivered from the original estimate. Daniel and Ricky (along with the rest of the crew) did a great job, we are very happy with how everything turned out! Everyone was hardworking, polite and especially respectful and accommodating while helping us deal with our neighbor who had concerns about their rare plants! read more

Amazing! They were completely understanding of my schedule and worked me in when it was good for me. The house was done un 4 days and looks outstanding! Definitely one of the most professional businesses I have worled with in Hawaii. Quality service at a great price! read more

We are extremely pleased with the work of Kalakoa Painting. Our house looks amazing. The crew, lead by Daniel, was efficient, respectful and hard working. They completed the job quickly and made sure that our needs were met. That included communication as to what needed to be done and how they would do it. Kamaka, the owner, was available to answer questions and took the time to stop by to make sure the work was progressing. The price was excellent and the workmanship was beyond my expectations. Mahalo Kalakoa Painting! read more

This company does a beautiful paint job. The paint application was thorough and even; they caulked and smoothed out surfaces; where the paint colors changed, the lines at the color changes were clean and crisp; they paid just as much attention to craftsmanship at high-up, less visible areas, such as roof eaves, as they did to eye-level areas. Kalakoa Painting delivers quality craftsmanship at a very reasonable price. read more

It was time to paint our house. I called four companies and received three on-site visits and proposals. All of them were fairly priced. However, Kamaka (owner of the company) seemed most interested in my needs and schedule. In our agreement he agreed to do exactly what I wanted. However, he did MUCH more. The 3-man crew was on time and respectful of my neighbors and not making noise. They were also courteous to me and my wife, and they put up with my many questions. More than half of the first day was completed before they even open a pail of paint! They scraped and sanded and primed and caulked well beyond any expectation that I had. They even used oil based primer on the gutters and down spouts. When I asked if I could use their ladder to repair a leak in my rain gutter they fixed it at no extra charge (and even supplied the material). The weather was not very cooperative (windy) so they rolled on the paint in some areas. Near the end of the project I walked about my house (2-story, 4 bedrooms, 3 baths) numerous times and marveled at the quality of their work. I was in awe, and I don't "awe" easily. My 22-year-old house - literally - looked brand new. Kalakoa Painting is NOT your usual company. Their superior work, friendly and courteous crew and fair pricing make them an exceptional contractor. I recommend them without reservation. DISCLAIMER: I rarely make recommendations on the internet. I wrote this one because Marcus, Kopa, Ernest and Kamaka earned it! Thanks, guys. read more

Kalakoa Painting did the entire exterior of our house and cottage. A big job done at a fair price. On a scale of 1-10 with 10 being best, we rated them as follows: Started and Completed work on time - 10 Professionalism of Painters - 10 Quality of surface preparation - 8 Paint application - 10 Cleanup - 8 Also, they worked with us to make some changes on the run without asking for additional money. Overall, Kalakoa Painting is a first rate company and we would recommend them to anyone looking for painters. Aloha read more

These guys are the B-E-S-T! Knew I had to get my condo re-painted and had Kamaka's guys come over and paint my interior, including patching, staining, and varnishing all interior doors. John was the lead on the job (his 1st) and he was so efficient and paid attention to the smallest details. read more

As the president of a 116-unit townhouse complex, I was over-the-top pleased with Kalakoa workmanship, attitude and efficient service. From the initial assistance of Kamaka in getting colors and paint selected and submitted to Mililani Town Association (personally delivering paperwork) to Kevin and Judah with their incredible personal touch and going the extra mile for residents. Mihwa, who runs the administrative side, came to our site personally to ensure everything was being done to spec and was satisfactory. She kept in touch throughout the process. Many owners complemented on the quality work that was done and how impressed they were. Many thanks to the team for their big role in transforming our neighborhood into a beautiful place! read more

Horrible. Had to pay another company to fix everything they painted. Said they had a "carpenter" to do some wall and ceiling work, which also had to be completely redone. read more

Thank you so much for the crew at Kalakoa Painting! We have had them come in twice now to do some work at our preschool and we cannot say enough of the fabulous job that they have done! We are over the top satisfied! The 1st job they did for us was to re-stripe our parking lot. Our parents couldn't say enough good things about the job that they did and how happy they were that they could once again see the marked stalls so clearly! The 2nd time they came out was last weekend. We needed a bunch of poles around our school cleaned, sanded, primed and re-painted. The poles look brand new! The parents and staff once again raved how wonderful the paint job looked and how much more beautiful it made our school look! The staff at Kalakoa Painting are always professional, helpful and gets the job done in a very timely manner. Thank you again!! We look forward to working with you many more times in the future! read more

I recommend Kalakoa Painting to anyone looking for an external residential paint job. Our experience from getting the estimate all the way through completion of the project was easy. Kamaka and the crew he sent to our house are all very professional and courteous. The painting was immaculate and they did a great job cleaning up before they left. I'll be calling them again when we are ready for the interior. I don't think I can say enough about how impressed we are with the job they did. We are the envy of our culdesac. read more

Fabulous and professional! I had Kalakoa Painting paint my new addition to my existing home along with a 120 square foot newly built storage shed. The work was top notch! Matched the paint perfectly. All that needs to be done for prepping was included. Very fare pricing. I would and have recommended this crew to friends. read more
